Lax The Girls Varsity Lacrosse Team hosted their Senior Night during their home game versus North Cobb High School on Wednesday, March 21st. They honored their two graduating seniors Morgan Pavolony and Kat Dalrymple after the game, ushered by their parents, through a tunnel of our ROTC students and their own players. The team sponsors were recognized at halftime and thanked for their support. The Navy and Gold Girls Jr. Knight lacrosse teams were also announced and presented across the field. It began as a close game but ended with a great lead by the lady knights with a final score of 15-11. Senior Morgan Pavolony had a great night with 5 goals, Freshman Hannah Vecsey with 5 goals, Junior Hailey Efel with 3 goals, Sophomore Gabi Delao with 1 goal, and Sophomore Bridgett Murray with 1 goal. Sophomore Kyla Anderson had 9 saves for the night. It was a great night all around for the Girls Lacrosse Team!
